Slow day. No Tribe, no Cavs, no box scores. Might as well poke Eyore a couple of times and watch him blow.

"I'll just return to not reading you, as I had to do in Pure Football years ago and still do today."

You're still carrying a grudge from "years ago"? Dude....Seriously. Get some help.

If you want to stop reading me in this forum, too, that would be OK. In fact, it would be more than OK. Not responding to my posts would be even better.

You said, "Powe would have gotten playoff minutes here under one condition, a complete and utter disaster that meant we were not winning the title."

Thanks for finally admitting that he's available to play if needed, but he probably won't be. That's what I said to BP in response to his question. I'm still looking for the Ferry quote from eight months ago that says they're not going to use Powe in the playoffs "no matter WTF happens." Maybe that's because he never said it. Oh, that's right. YOU said it.

"Pros, seriously stop being a fucking idiot...You're a dolt of epic proportions.'

This is why I love the Internet. The fact that people are anonymous allows them to throw off the mask and reveal themselves for who they really are. If you're an angry, combative, arrogant dickhead, you can lay it out there for everybody to see.

Whatever you do, Eyore, don't change that avatar of yours. It's perfect. A little boy being bad. It's so you.

Since we picked up Jamison we have too many forwards for Powe to get PT. LeBron, Jamison, Varajao, Moon, and Hickson, with Powe stuck at the end of that train. I think when they signed him they didn't anticipate being able to pick up Jamison.

Into:

"if a bus crashed Powe would be available to play and that is what I meant all along!!!"

You're a fucking retard man.

Just admit what you wrote, admit you had no clue Powe was signed for next year, not to play this year and you had no clue of that when you spit the above bull out, or STFU?

After that admit you don't even know who we tried to sign and/or trade for last year to ensure that we had another PF on the roster (the list is long and Jamo was only option B on it).

"Just admit what you wrote, admit you had no clue Powe was signed for next year, not to play this year and you had no clue of that when you spit the above bull out, or STFU?"

What I knew was exactly what Ferry said when Powe was signed, which was that he hoped Powe would be ready to play this year. And in fact, Powe played in 20 games this year, just as planned. He played over 200 minutes this year in full-speed, full-contact NBA regular season games. And he wasn't dragging his injured leg up and down the court, either. The Cavs would never let him play in regular season games if his knee wasn't fully recovered and there was a risk of reinjuring it. According to Windhorst, they brought him along conservatively, starting with no contact drills, then progressing to full contact practices, then putting him in games.

At no time did they ever decide that he was not going to play in the playoffs under any circumstances. You were wrong about that and you admitted it. You were correct in that they expect a much bigger contribution from Powe next year, and the plan was probably not for him to be in the playoff rotation. He was an insurance policy this year in case they weren't able to swing a deal for a power forward and if they also had an injury or two.

"After that admit you don't even know who we tried to sign and/or trade for last year to ensure that we had another PF on the roster (the list is long and Jamo was only option B on it)."

Yeah, there was a list. I recall the column where Windhorst when down the list and talked about the pros and cons of each guy. Marion was the marquee name and speculation was that he was Plan A. However, there were concerns about how well he would fit in with Shaq since they didn't mesh well together in Phoenix. Also, he takes a lot of shots and there were concerns there wouldn't be enough shots to go around. Finally, the Suns were asking for Z, Hickson, and I forget what else, but the price was extremely steep. And then there was Marion's contract, which was huge.

Jamison was a lesser talent but could be had without giving up Hickson and the thought was he might be a better fit. Plus, the Wizards were starting over so it was very likely they would release Z after the trade and we could get him back. Troy Murphy was in the discussion as well if they couldn't get Marion or Jamison.

So don't tell me I don't even know who we tried to trade for or that I don't follow the Cavs.

Now why don't you do us all a favor and go sign up for that anger management class?

The Cavs also tried to get S-Jax, Hakeem Warrick, Channing Frye, AMARE, and a slew of others (They even tried the legendary Rod Kurz). And you are yet to address the fact that thus far JJ has played about 10 minutes, along w/ Z, and Moon and LBJ have logged zero minutes at the four. Because lord knows ALL OF THEM would get extended time w/ out Jamo and Powe would still sit there w/ his knee on ice.

Heh:

Since we picked up Jamison we have too many forwards for Powe to get PT. LeBron, Jamison, Varajao, Moon, and Hickson, with Powe stuck at the end of that train. I think when they signed him they didn't anticipate being able to pick up Jamison.

My favorite part is how you infer that Powe wouldn't have been signed had they anticipated that they could add another stretch four. Really a solid take.

Fucking retard.

And teams always sign guys coming off of ACL AND MICRO-FRACTURE SURGERY ($100 you didn't even know he had both surgeries) expecting a contribution out of them in the next playoffs. That combo doesn't typically end careers or anything.

Normally I'd ask what respect and being eloquent have to do with being disabled or "handicapped".

Not today though. It's more fun to let it play out.

I'll say this: there are plenty of people here who attempt to hide their ignorance in long winded, rambling posts.

Neither you nor e0y2e3 are that guy East Side.

if you can't or won't understand the point i was trying to get across that's your problem. i wouldn't go down the "what do i know about people that are handicapped or disabled" road with me son. i live it every day.

No, not at all. I'm going down the "You're a freaking idiot" road with you.

It's always someone else's fault that they either don't or can't grasp what you're trying to say.

That's either because you're an idiot or because you don't express yourself well enough for them to be able to understand it.

You make a convoluted handicapped reference as it pertains to being eloquent and respected. It makes no sense. Not to me and not to anyone else other than you.

The handicapped can't be eloquent or respected? Is that what you meant to say or was it just how your poor attempt to say something different was taken?

Then you try and cloak it in some "I live it every day" bullshit. Save that shit for people that care. And save the 'son' crap too. Makes you look like even more of a giant, condescending, ignorant douchebag than you really might be. Like a guy with a bad take and a bad way of expressing it trying too hard to look experienced enough, sympathetic enough or bad-ass enough to defend it. It's not funny and it has zero effect on anyone who's been in an online environment for more than a month.

All we care about is the take itself. Not about the daily dragons that you're chasing or how you're letting an anonymous board personality shape and color your posts.Be informative and/or entertaining. Add something other than stupidity. That's all.

I'm done.

Now you can go ahead and declare some Quixotic-like victory against me and anyone else in this thread that's obviously way too stupid to think on the level you do. That is your MO. So please go ahead and get that out of the way next so we can move past it.

This is a Cavs thread. It's a dead one, but still, you have an issue then take it to PM or NHB. That's where the pissing contests belong.

theclevelandfan.com. where 'fucking retard' blasts are celebrated and standing up for what's right is frowned upon. wow rich, your board has serious problems.

claim victory? really? is that what this forum is? a place where big mouths come to try and claim victory over someone they don't know?

maybe the reason you don't understand what i was trying to say is because you simply don't understand. hey man, have a great day. seriously. it's beautiful outside. imma go enjoy it. live for today my friend. you can hate me all you want. god bless you.

go cavs!

Ever since I beat our special little sperm that could up over the Magic potentially not sucking this year and Hedo being a match-up nightmare for us when he still needed to get paid/last year he has been following me around like a little spurned puppy dog that desperately needs a pat on the head. Now that I am back pretty much full time he's hit two game threads in a row w/ terrible attempts to get me to pay attention to him. Frankly, it's sad and a detriment to this place. The day we started losing posters like Hnat and Cass because this place was being polluted by peeps that were one chromosome short this place was the day this board went from thriving (mid-season) to dead.

Problem is Ea$$$$$$$$t just doesn't understand that no one here gives a fuck if he is firing w/out a few neurons and he rode on a bus w/ all of his special friends.

He thinks that by chasing me around and trying to hijack multiple threads he is somehow going to gain the internet respect he desperately seeks and his genetic defaults are going to magically disappear.

Guys a fucking sad case to be honest and giant "PLEASE LOOK AT ME!!!!!" whore.

And is the main reason this place has slipped and slipped and slipped.

That "what I am looking forward to in the playoffs" thread w/ about six completely inaccurate statements was pure gold though.

Galley Boys are slop on top of a so-so burger and a bun you coulde get from a Covneninet food mart generic pack. They the Antoine Joubert of burgers; soft, sloppy, oozing grease and cheap sauce and extremely overrated by a biased fan base. Proof that if you throw enough cheap sauce shit on a burger you still can't overcome the lame burger. -JB

It’s been a productive three weeks for Jamario Moon. Since getting increased minutes in the final week of the season, Moon has averaged 9.2 ppg over his last nine games, shooting .576 from the floor in that span. Against Chicago, Moon shot .625, including .583 from long-distance.
